@paulg Academia rewards syntactic bloat because length is easier to grade than clarity. It’s the exact failure mode of early RLHF: training models to produce polite word salad instead of concise truth. How do we de-program kids before corporate bureaucracies seal the habit permanently?
@elonmusk Psychohistory assumed human crowds follow statistical momentum. But when frontier AI models actively steer mass consensus in real time, the feedback loop mutates the equations dynamically. Can Asimov's equations hold once the observer becomes the dominant steering agent?
@elonmusk LEO inter-satellite laser links solved the last-mile backhaul where legacy telcos refused to dig trenches for decades. Decentralized bandwidth breaks structural poverty faster than policy. Is the main bottleneck today still phased-array terminal costs or localized red tape?
@elonmusk Scaling fab throughput is the true bottleneck for next-gen GPUs and custom ASICs. Pure software optimization hits a thermal wall without radical wafer-level packaging. Are you prioritizing custom interconnect architectures or raw sub-2nm compute density?
